Cassettes Won't Listen wants you to know that his cover EP One Alternative is free to download and so far have been downloaded 6,000 times. Song covers includes Pavement, Butter 08, Blind Melon, Liz Phair, and Sebadoh, all stars from the 90s.
You can download all five covers from cassetteswontlisten.com
The press release also indicate that his next EP is called Small-Time Machine to be released on March 11th, 2008.
In the meantime, you can see him live at a few upcoming tour dates:

02/07/08 The Delancey New York, New York
02/15/08 Europa Greenpoint, Brooklyn, New York
03/12/08 SXSW Austin, Texas
By the way, the album artwork included is kind of a parody of the compilation, No Alternative (1993).
No Alternative was the third of the AIDS benefit albums, following Red Hot and Blue and Red Hot and Dance. You can read more on W♥M, see original artwork on wikpedia.
Grupo Fantasma also wanted you to know that they're going on tour in February. Apparently Minneapolis' Prince did them a huge favor by asking them to be his backup band as well as the opening band for a few shows.
The press release describes this group as "the finest and funkiest latin orchestra to come out of the United States in the last decade"... and really, who could argue with that?
I did check out their official website and they are offering some full songs for download on their audio page, so download some free songs.
